I was cycling in what I consider to be a cycle lane this morning, in Hyde Park (on the Broadwalk,
between Hyde Parke Corner and Bayswater Road). A pedestrian was pulling a suitcase along, in the
cycle lane. Theere was little traffic of any kind around that early, and there was no reason for him
to be in the cycle lane. I told him, politely, that he should watch out, as he was in a cycle lane,
my concerns being for both his safety and of course that of other cyclists. I was first told that it
was not a cycle lane, then I was told to p*** off.
My question is:
a) are those portions of the Broadwalk painted black and with pictures of bicyles painted in white
on them actually reserved for cyclists, or
b) are they intended to denote that bicycles are *ONLY* allowed in those areas, and that pedestrians
still have priority in those areas?
